I need to understand the backward capabilities of more recent drives.

As a rule of thumb, LTO drives can write to one previous generation of tapes and read from two previous generations of tapes. (There are some exceptions for LTO8 and LTO9.)

How high could I go with LTO based
machines while still maintaining the ability to read (and hopefully
write) those old LTO2 tapes?

LTO2 tapes can be read by LTO2, LTO3 and LTO4 drives and written by LTO2 and LTO3 drives.


HTH,

Sebastian
